Default Unusual space heater recommendation request


"CraigT" wrote in message
. ..
I have an 84" couch that sits in front of a bank of 6 windows that are 10'
wide and 9' tall. I was hoping that they made some kind of oil/water filled
baseboard space heater that would extend at least the full length of the
couch and wash the wall with heat. It gets awfully cold sitting on that
couch in the winter. I thought something oil/water filled might be able to
be slipped into the close confines behind the couch without having to move
the couch so far away from the windows. Unfortunately, I have been unable
to locate something like this. Does anybody know of something that fits
this bill or maybe a permanently installed construction grade unit that
would function on 110v?

Thanks in advance,
Craig


Any heater like that requires convection. For convection you need floor
space between it and the object in front of it, as well as the top to allow
the heat to rise.
Why does it need to be oil/water filled? Why not a simple elctric
baseboad solution? They are VERY cheap and 100% efficient. You're probably
looking at less than 500$ to have it profesionally installed by a licensed
electrician.
